Handfasting is an ancient Celtic ritual in which the hands are tied together. The couple exchanges vows while their hands are bound together symbolizing the act of 'giving and receiving' in their eternal union.

Variation: the cords or ribbons can be made by the godparents chosen by the couple.

The wedding lasso tradition is a unity ceremony performed before the exchange of vows using a lasso or rope to join the couple. It bonds the couple together and represents the union of two people into one unit.

The ancient Chinese believed those who are destined to meet and be together have invisible threads string tied to their little finger. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.
